It's official.

官方通报。

During the closing moments of the 2020 Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Thursday, Joe Biden formally accepted the nomination to become the Democratic Party's presidential candidate.

在周四举行的2020年民主党全国代表大会闭幕之际，拜登正式接受提名，成为民主党总统候选人。

Biden emerged as the top candidate out of a field of contenders that at one time numbered 27 Democrats, many of whom suspended their campaigns early in the race. After receiving 3,558 delegates from U.S. states and territories, Biden earned the presidential nomination on Tuesday.

拜登从27位民主党竞争者中脱颖而出，成为民主党内第一总统候选人。其中有多位民主党竞争者在竞选初期就中止了竞选活动。拜登在获得了来自美国各州和地区的3558名代表支持后，于周二赢得了总统候选人提名。

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the last Democratic presidential candidate to suspend his campaign, was allocated 1,151 delegates. Senator Kamala Harris of California accepted the party's vice-presidential nomination on Wednesday.

最后一位暂停竞选的民主党总统候选人佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯获得了1151名代表支持。加州参议员卡马拉.哈里斯星期三接受了民主党的副总统提名。

In his acceptance speech, Biden referred to this time in history as "a season of darkness in America" which he said his presidency could eradicate."Here and now, I give you my word," Biden said. "If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I'll be an ally of the light, not the darkness. It's time for us—for we, the people—to come together. And make no mistake. United we can and will overcome."

在接受提名的演讲中，拜登将历史上的这段时间称为“美国的黑暗季节”，他表示自己在任期将结束这一“黑暗季节”。“现在，我向你保证，”拜登说。“如果你们信任我担任总统,我将会展现我们最好的一面,而不是最坏的。我将与光明为伍，不与黑暗同行。现在，是为我们，为我们人民，团结起来的时候了。毫无疑问。我们能够并且终将结束美国的这个黑暗季节。”
